The 1920s is one of the most fascinating decades in American history, when the seeds of modern American life were sown. It was a time of prosperity and recovery from war, when womens roles began to change and advertising and credit made it desirable and easy to acquire a vast array of new products.

Do you ever wonder why historians call the era of the 1920s in American history the Roaring Twenties?
Do you think that we live in a period of time when things are changing? Maybe you remember a time before smartphones and tablet readers, Twitter and Facebook. A time when only astronauts could fly into outer space. Isnt it exciting to imagine the possibilities of the future, such as Google Glass and electric cars, and realize its already here?
The years between World War I and the Great Depression were an era of excitement, movement, and a newer, faster pace of life. It was the beginning of modern life, modern inventions, and a kind of popular culture that Americans had never experienced before.
Radio and movies helped spread new trends in fashion, music, and behavior. The traditional lifestyles and values were changing. People had more money to spend and new consumer goods to spend it on. Women, especially young women, were breaking free from their old roles and finding that they could have more freedom to work as well as raise a family. It was a time of fresh air after the long, dark years of World War I.
